Does that mean going to war again! Let
US reason; suppose we didn't, suppose We
turned our backs on this palefaced broken
down old man. What did he do that |
hadn't done2 l don't think | shot any
body, but | tried pretty hard. You ght
ask me to turn cold shoulder on the wife
of my bosom; she went with me to and
fro, she followed me to camp, shared my
dangers even to the picket and at times in
the danger of the battle and under provi-
dence | owe to her tender nursing that
my life was spared me. Why should l
hate her? If We should turn our backs on
that man, refuse him our sympathies, we
would merit the scorn of every brave man
in this audience and you would feel an alb
solute contempt for US. When Jeff Davis
left the United States Senate he left it rich
with regret and full of political honors.
For our sakes he became poor and debarred
forever from political honors in his own
country. He fingers to-day with broken
health and scarcely place to lay his head.
Dragging after him the wounded limbs
with increasing sufferings that followed
him from the war, what would you think
of me if l said, go hence, | have no
more use for you," l am not going to do
it. | would have contempt for General
Meryon (who sat on the stage) if he went
back on the grand old name of Abraham
Lincoln. Put yourself in the other fell

cipes of protection against an unequal
distribution of the burdens of govern
ment, and the maintenance among the
people of healthy tone of public virtue.
Besides these paramOnt reasons for its re-
peal, there are to US, of North Carolina,
special reasons arising out Of the fact that
it affects injurlously pursuits followed by
large element of our people. 1t Is man
ifestly in the interest of our material
growth and development that the manu-
facture of tobacco and distillation of
spirits, shall be brought within the range
of the means of the poor producers of
those commodities and not confined, as
now. exclusively to the rich. The people
of this section (the eastern third of the
State) make but little tobacco or whlskey,
and they do not feel so senSlhly as do our
western brethr' n the effects of this inlQui-
tOus system, but besides an interest grow
ing out of principles of universal appHca
ton, We feel that wrong done to any
other part of North Carollna is wrong
done TO US also, and its cause our cause
also. | am, therefore, gratltled at the IN
terest your committee manifest, in this
resolution, in behalf of the people, in Sc
curing their emancipation from the hated
coils of this odious system. In that, how
ever, they but reflect the sentiment which
pervades and animateS the democracy of
the whole State.
Now, Sir, in behalf of myself (and l be
lieve l can safely add, of the other Dem
ocratic members of Congress from this
State) let your committee be assured if
the fiftieth Congress should fail to accord
to the people the plain and simple measure
of justice which they ask in their name,
our conduct in that body, | hope and be
lieve, will be such that no man, not even
the most capricious, shall have just
cause to charge the failure or any part
thereof to the account of our stewardship.
l am, likewise, in hearty sympathy with
the suggestion of your committee in favor
of modification of the tariff upon i'm
ports. and shall faithfully strive to aid IN
the attainment of that reform-believing
as l do it is not right that forty odd mil
lions of our people should be taxed be
yonds the needs of the government TO the
end that the remaining few, engaged ID
manufacture and mining, should be given
the doubtful benfits of what is known as

The Congressman from North Carolina

the reduction of Internal Revenue tax out
lined at recent conference in this city
and published in the CHRONICLE at the
time. There are thirty six States against
these two which insist that so long as the
interest on the National debt and the pen
sion bill absorb $3.50, 200, 900 year the
whiskey tax will have to remain as it is.
Virginia and North Carolina will be great
ly benefited if they secure the repeal of
the tobacco tax, except on cigars, which
this bill grants.
For the past two days Col VIM. G. Rice
has been the guest of the President at the
White House. Col. Rice was Governor
Cleveland's Assistant Secretary, while Col.
Lamont was Secretary. He is now Secre-
tary to Governor Hill. Saturday Col. Rice
visited all the prominent Office holders here
from New York. He left last night after
long conference with the President.
Mr.. Cleveland's contribution to the New
York campaign fund was a check for ST.
900. Col. Lamont also contributed liber-
ally.
To-day Robt. Maxwell, Esq, represent
ing the New York Central Committee, will
arrive and establish his headquarters tenn
porarily at the rooms of the Columbia
Democratic Committee rooms, for the pur-
pose of receiving contributions to the New
York campaign fund. He is the incum-
bent of one of the most lucrative positions
within the gift Of the present Governor of
New York.
1t is understood that there is perfect
understanding between Cleveland and Hill
to the effect that they are to help each
other. Cleveland is to head the National
ticket in 1888 and Hill is to be again Gov
ernor of New York. 1t is g stfong COM
bination, and Judging from the facts given
above, it is to be fight based on old fash
ioned partisan methods. How Oherly's
letters and the doctrine expressed in the
Presidents ''pernieious activity" letter
are to be made to coincide with this later
programme, are conundrums too deep for
me.

DEAR SIR have just received your

following resolution, to-wit
s.REsoLyED, That it is the sense of the
Democratic State Executive Committee
that tie Internal Revenue Laws should be
immediately repealed; and our members
Of Congress are requested to use their IN

have said laws repealed, DC.
The resolution is in entire harmony with
the thought and feelings of the Democratic
portion of our people, and Will, L take 1t,
receive the cordial endorsement and sup
port Of every representative OF that party
in Congress from this State.
The opposition of the Democratic party
10 this method of Federal taxation, through
all the vicissitudes of its dangerous growth,
has been steadfast and uncompromlslng
and now when. after much struggling,
long waiting and many reverSeS, we stand
upon the very threshold Of its overthrow,
YOUR committee as the head OF that party
in the State does well to urge It's repre-
sentatives in Congress to abate nothing ID
their former vigor and energy to secure to
the people with the least possible delay,
this great and much needed measure OF
relief
As a scheme of taxation it is unjust and
Discriminating, while the machinery pro

Radical SANDER and Indecency.

We protest against any citizen Of North
Carolina being slandercd by comparison
with Grover Cleveland. We venture the
assertion that there is not such a facial
expression in the State As that Of Grover
Cleveland. So far as intelligence, courage
or character is concerned, his face is an
absolute blank. That he is beastly will
not admit of doubt. He is a most com
plete type Of a sensualist.

THE DARIEN SHORT LINE.
1t is Being Pushed Forward Ener-
eetically,


DARIEN, GA, Aug. 12.-For many years
past railroad" has been a subject of con-
versation in social and business circles in
Darien, and railroad has been much felt
need Nothing definite, however, was done
IN the matter pointing to Its being QUILT
Some time during the summer of 1885, when
Mr.. X x. Walker, one Of our native clti-
zens, having taken the matter in hand, APP
piled to the Legislature of that year and
secured charter for the same. Having
done so he began the work OF developing
the scheme. The charter provided for
the course of the road-beginning at
Darien and intercepting the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway at some con
venlent point, thence penetrating, Liberty
for a considerable distance, and thence
northward through several counties To
convenient point-MiIlen, | believe. Mr..
Walker has devoted much personal time and
means to this enterprise and deserves great
credit in the matter. He is now III New
York city in the interest of his road, nego-
tiatlng for money, sale of bonds, purchase
OF lron ETC., and reports everything work
ing satisfactorily and well. Before leaving
here for the North, Mr.. Walker put force
of hands upon the line of survey between
here and Walthourville, the point on the Sa-
Yannah, Florida and Western selected, for
clearing the right of way and preparing for
the grading. This force has been kept busily
at work ever since, but as yet only
small force is at work. The distance
from Darien to Walthourville is nearly
forty miles. Exactly how much has been
graded and is now ready for ties | am not
in position to say, but from such sources
as | find at hand | understand about
eighteen miles have been graded. The grad
ing will be quickly completed, however, as
soon as Mr.. Walker the President of the
road returns. The road is an assured thing,
and we hope TO see it running trains by
January next. 1t is unnecessary for me to
comment on the advantages this road will
give our people, the development of re-
sources in Mcintosh it will bring, or the
safeness of the enterprise as paying invest
ment. The Importance of the pine timber
trade is too well known to need any COM
ment, and as this road will pass through the
very heart of the pine forest region of the
State, that trade must. as a matter of
course, be greatly increased and many other
valuable interests, heretofore dominant for
want of transporting facilities, will become
operative and wealth productive, and by
means of this same road we anticipate the
forging of new links in the already long
chain of social relations which binds Darien
and Savannah so firmly now. r. W. g.
